Dont like that formation mate, no where near enough width.
Enjoyed last nites game, the lovley landlady allowed us to stay in and watch it, crawled out at 3.30...
Anyway again it was a makeshift team,
Howard in net
G.Neville, Keano and Spector at the back.
P.Neville and Richardson as wingbacks
Sheasy and Djemba in the holding role with Eagles and Bellion swapping and Smith upfront.
Overall Celtic where the better team in terms of passing and possesion but they started with pretty much their best side, I was pleased with our performance considering the team and that playing a formation we're just not used to.
My only gripe was Sutton and Hartson, dirty bastards. Sutton was at it all night with elbows and little digs, same with Hartson, he should have been sent off, the amount of times he kicked people was out of order especially Spector, the kids what 16-17 and Hartson had to kick him, FFS :roll:
What else, Eagles is coming along well, some nice touches and not scared of going foward, Richardson looked alot better aswell, expect to see more of him this year.
Smith is gonna do a cracking job for us, he scored and infact could've had a brace last night, so the thought of him linking up with Ruud or Saha and getting service from the likes of Ronnie, Giggs and Scholes is pretty exciting. Sheasy was great in midfield, good passing and covered alot of ground I've seen him play there before and it could end up being his best position.
So all in all it was good, yeah we lost, but feck it! Our normal team would've dusted them no probs but the kids gave them a good feckin run for their money.
Looks like Fergie has drafted in some big names for the Milan game, we've got a crazy schedule this coming month so eveyone needs to get a game.
